UHD 730 vs Radeon R7 260X comparison

For gaming, the Radeon R7 260X graphics card is better than the UHD 730 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 260X has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the UHD 730 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the UHD 730 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon R7 260X is better than the UHD 730.
